Topic # 3: What They Want...

Timing on Recording: @ 19:10---

• Do not put me in a box.
• Give me experiential learning. (Not just book learning.)
• Eager to contribute - but let me know how what I am doing to contribute to the big picture.
• Like a flattened organization where they can make an impact and not be "put in a box". Highly structured, large organizations are less appealing.

• THE ONE THING YOU CAN BEGIN DOING RIGHT AWAY: Get the know them, ask about their personal life, engage frequently, get to know who they really are and allow flexibility.
• Top Tips: - Time is clockless - what counts is results. Give me flexibility. - Trust is a must. - They want balance and will create it. - Do not micromanage. ("Do you not trust me?") - Give me feedback. - If what you say in the interview does not match my true experience, when on the job, I will leave. - Ask me what I think. I want to be involved. - I want to feel valued.
